Why owners talk to us

A direct line to institutional buyers

  1. 01

    Direct Buyer Access

    No public broker listings, marketplace noise, or listing fees. You deal with a buyer's representative from the first conversation.

  2. 02

    Capital Certainty

    Pre-vetted institutional acquirers actively deploying capital in lower-middle-market service and industrial sectors — typically $3M to $5M+ in revenue.

  3. 03

    Flexible Exit Structures

    A partial equity roll, an immediate 100% payout, or a phased succession for retiring founders — structured around what you want next.

  4. 04

    Operational Continuity

    Capital allocated to retain field staff, protect the company's legacy, and accelerate growth in your local market.

Acquisition criteria

The mandate, in plain terms

What our buyers are looking for

Must-have services

  • Tuition, membership, or program revenue billed on a recurring basis
  • Enrollment demand with waiting lists or high retention
  • Owned or long-leased facilities

Also considered

  • Multiple locations or a proven expansion playbook
  • Camps, events, and retail add-ons
  • Club team or competitive programs

Customer base

  • Families enrolled in recurring programs
  • Schools, leagues, and community organisations
  • Corporate and group bookings

Business model

  • Recurring billing with low seasonal churn
  • Coach and instructor retention
  • Facility utilisation across the week

Outside the mandate

Not a fit for this buyer group

  • Single-season operations without recurring enrollment
  • Businesses dependent on one municipal facility lease
  • Programs without safety certifications and background-checked staff

Not sure where you land? Tell us anyway — we will say so plainly, and we may know another buyer.

What buyers value

What our buyers pay for in your business

  • Recurring tuition with a waiting list is the profile buyers underwrite as a platform.
  • A repeatable location playbook is worth more than any single site.
  • Instructor retention and safety standards are what let a buyer scale your brand without diluting it.
Exit structures

Structured around what you want next

Every mandate supports more than one outcome. The structure follows the owner's goals, not the other way round.

01

Partial equity roll

Take meaningful liquidity now, keep a stake, and share in the next stage of growth with institutional backing.
02

100% payout at close

A clean, complete exit with certainty of funds — for owners who are ready to step away.
03

Phased succession

A staged transition that keeps you involved through a defined handover, protecting customers, staff, and reputation.
How it works

From a confidential conversation to a structured close

Four steps, no listing, no auction noise. You decide what is shared and when — and we tell you plainly whether there is a fit.

  1. 01

    Confidential conversation

    A short call to understand your business, your timeline, and what you want from a transaction. Nothing is shared without your consent.

  2. 02

    Exit assessment

    We review your financials and operations against the mandate — P&L and revenue quality, contracts, team, and readiness — and tell you plainly where you stand.

  3. 03

    Buyer introduction

    If there is a fit, we introduce you directly to the acquiring group and manage the process through diligence.

  4. 04

    Structured close

    Deal structure, negotiation support, and continuity planning through to a signed transaction.

Confidential inquiry

Start a confidential conversation

Tell us a little about your company. A buyer's representative — not a broker — will respond within one business day.
